>From the website:
*Faked, Forgotten, Found* showcases conservators’ forensic analysis of five
Renaissance paintings in the museum’s collection that have undergone
significant scientific analysis and conservation. The discoveries about
each work are presented through extensive multimedia documentation,
highlighting a fascinating but little-seen aspect of museum practice. Learn
how curators and conservators discovered a portrait of Isabella de'
Medici attributed to Alessandro Allori beneath the surface of a work
repainted in the 19th century, or how to tell the museum’s genuine painting
by Francesco Francia of the Virgin and Child apart from later imitations
and copies. The exhibition offers a behind-the-scenes perspective on the
intersection of art and science taking place in the museum every day.

And there's a Coffee with the Curator event on July 14th!
